Well according to this site it says that a mature jelly is only the size of a quarter. The mind boggles how you intend to keep them in an aquarium. But that's probably gonna be so cool.

Since they feed on zooplankton it might be next to impossible to feed them without access to outdoor pools with the correct water quality and nutritional balance. Seems a lot of effort to go to for such a seasonal creature.Natural sunlight will probably influence their feeding and behaviour patterns, so keeping them sounds extraordinarily difficult.
